Ever since I took a trip to Santorini, I think about the island to be among the most stunning places on the planet. Every new corner appears more attractive than the last and photos will never have the ability to capture its mesmerizing environment. If you're still contemplating whether to add Santorini to your bucket list, here's 7 reasons that you need to check out the Greek island.

1. Due to the fact that of the sunset in Oia

By far, among my preferred moments in Greece was being able to witness the Santorini sunset. It's the only sunset on the planet I have actually seen that gets a round of applause once it subsides. Come down there early though (a minimum of half an hour) for a great spot. The crowds can be a bit of a nightmare and the last thing you desire is to be going to find an area, evading photos whilst concurrently trying to take your own prior to the sun disappears (been there, done that).

If the crowds show excessive, and you would prefer somewhere a little quieter, another sunset spot is Imerovigli. Once again, it offers a beautiful, undisturbed view of the sunset.

However in all honesty, you can't truly have a bad sundown in Santorini. It's kind of magical anywhere you are.

There are a few methods to navigate the island: renting a car, ATV, taxi or bus. However, taxis can get expensive and buses give you less time versatility. Roadways are Santorini tours prices primarily cobble-stoned, narrow and Grecian drivers are insane (however extremely talented), which leaves us with leasing an ATV. Renting an ATV, likewise known as a quad bike, is the best and most popular way to get around the island, particularly thanks to the steep hills and heat that make it a rigorous task strolling from point A to B. Plus it's SO much fun, promise.

Depending on the season, size and type of your ATV it might cost anywhere from 25 to 40 euros for 24 hours. Plus around 8-10 euros daily for fuel, based on a 200cc ATV.

It's a fantastic and enjoyable method to see the island on your own terms and time. Certainly a must-do whilst in Santorini, just make certain to have a motorists license with you.

3. Because you can white wine & dine with a view

Oia

With spectacular views sweeping over the Aegean Sea and caldera, Santorini will entirely exceed any expectations you have of "dinner with a view" with the scenery that surrounds you.

If you're trying to find restaurants that marry heavenly views with delicious foods, popular ones include Ambrosia, 1800 and Lauda in Oia, Archipelagos and V Lounge in Fira, and Kapari White Wine Dining Establishment in Imerovigli.

4. Because of the special beaches

Santorini is not understood for its beaches, so do not expect the normal white sand & crystal clear water view that you usually associate with Greece. The beaches are volcanic, not white sand, so they're either red or black rocks, pebbles or grit, and get extremely hot on the feet. However, this makes them unique and some prefer them to the common white sand beach, that makes them well worth a check out. Here's a few I 'd suggest.

Red-Beach-of-Akrotiri-Santorini

Red Beach: The 'famous' beach of Santorini. It has black and red volcanic pebbles rather of sand and hot water. Make sure to use closed shoes (no thongs or sandals) as the walk in can be slippery and the sand gets extremely hot.

Kamari: A cosmopolitan beach resort situated on the southern part of Santorini, right next to Perissa, with the massive rock called Mesa Vouno in between them. The sand is black and the waters are deep and blue, with activities such as diving readily available. There's close-by cafes, bars, restaurants, stores and supermarkets, as well as a vibrant night life which makes it a more popular traveler location.
